You can find how many he gets for each dog.
For example, let's pretend Juan gets $3 for each dog to walk, then he would've walked 4 dogs. But in this real problem we don't know how much he gets for each dog.
So, you can find the amount of money Juan saved by knowing how much is for each dog walked.
This is like a triangle.
One side, the hypotenuse, is the length of the ladder, 10 feet in this case.
Another side, one of legs, is the distance from the bottom of the ladder to the side of the wall, 6 feet.
The last side is what we need to find, how high up the ladder reaches.
Using the p<span>ythagorean theorem, we can find this third side.
This is written as a^2 + b^2 = c^2.
A and B are the legs, while C is the hypotenuse.
Plugging in known values, we get:
6^2 + b^2 = 10^2
Solve as much as possible:
6^2 = 36
10^2 = 100
36 + b^2 = 100
Now you must isolate b.
Subtract 36 from both sides.
100 - 36 = 64
b^2 = 64
The last step in finding b is doing the inverse of squaring, which is square rooting.
√64 = 8
So b equals 8.
This means that <span>the ladder can reach 8 feet up the wall.</span></span>
Figure 1 is not the answet
X^2 + 9y^2 = 25
x^2/5^2 + (3y)^2/5^2 = 1
This represent an equation of an ellipse with cente at the origin, the horizontal major axis running from -5 to 5 and vertical minor axis running from -5/3 to 5/3
The third graph is the correct answer.
